We are delighted to announce that our distinctive orange e-scooters and e-bikes will remain in Vernon following a contract extension from the City of Vernon. The contract, which was previously slated to conclude in April 2023, has been extended to April 2024. 

Since launching in July 2021, our vehicles have been embraced by the community, providing a safe and convenient way for locals and tourists to get around. In May 2022, with e-scooters proving to be a popular mode of transport, e-bikes were added to the Vernon fleet and the e-scooter fleet was increased to 350 to meet demand. To date, our riders in Vernon have racked up over 400,000 kilometers, thereby eliminating an estimated 25 tonnes of CO2 emissions by providing an alternative to short car trips.  

We have also seen a range of benefits since our e-scooters and e-bikes were introduced, from helping tourists explore the city, to extending the range of locals so they can further support local businesses. Our rider surveys have shown that over half of Neuron rides resulted in a purchase at a business, providing a boost to local businesses in Vernon.

We look forward to continuing to support the city to scoot to their favourite local spots in a safe, convenient and fun way!

We’re celebrating some big milestones in Canada! Neuron riders have now travelled more than 2 million kilometres across our six Canadian cities since last year! Thanks to our amazing city partners and riders, this has helped avoid an estimated 170 tonnes of CO2 emissions by replacing car journeys.

Neuron entered the Canadian market in May 2021, and has quickly emerged as a leading e-scooter operator now operating in Ottawa, Calgary, Red Deer, Lethbridge, Airdrie and Vernon. Calgary, Lethbridge, and Vernon riders now also have the option of using Neuron e-bikes.

Neuron riders in Calgary have led the way when it comes to adopting micromobility into their daily lives. Of the total kilometres travelled in Canada to date, Calgary riders have travelled more than 1 million kilometres on Neuron e-scooters since our launch in the city last year. We’re proud to be a part of Calgary’s multi-year program, which illustrates how impactful a shared micromobility program can be as a strategic part of the city’s transportation network. 

We look forward to many more exciting Canadian ridership milestones ahead!
